Presicce-Acquarica: Location and surroundings of this property

Acquarica del Capo, located in the heart of Salento, witnesses an ancient history. Still today we can visit the “Caverna della Madonna della Grotta”, its middle age Castle and the church of Santa Maria Pannetti. The choice of the name Acquarica, “Acqua Ricca” (Rich water), comes from the very rich waters running through and under the town that are typical of this land. A perfect balance between quality, exclusivity and authenticity that characterizes the south of Italy. The hospitality and generosity of the people, the land with its products and the climate can be grasped even after only a few hours in this land. Acquarica del Capo lies in a valley, along the road between Lecce and Santa Maria di Leuca,60km from Lecce, 100km from Brindisi airport and a few minutes from the most beautiful beaches of Salento with white sand and crystal clear waters. The town of Tricase and it’s surroundings have been chosen by many prominent international personalities to make it their residence. The coast from Santa Maria di Leuca to Castro, is an exclusive destination with seaside resorts alternating with cliffs and wild inlets. The costal road offers a breathtaking glimpse of the sea and it is sprinkled with wonders of this land, like the natural pools of Marina Serra, the Acquaviva cove, the Grotta verde just to name a few. Here you find world class restaurants, bars to enjoy sunset drinks and handicraft and local products shops but also exclusive fashion boutiques. The area offers countless options for bushwalks, strolls in its countryside alongside the sound of cicadas making you discover ancient towns. The Salentina peninsula benefits from a very mild climate, which gives the opportunity to make the most of the area and its many activities almost 12 months a year.
